Luscious Lemonade Cake with Lemonade Butter Cream Frosting

My Luscious Lemonade Cake is perfect for your Labor Day BBQ this weekend. The lemonade butter cream makes it extra special. I used Country Time powder but you can use any brand.

Have you ever made a dessert that everyone loved and was an instant hit? Well if you make this cake I am sure it will be a new family favorite. How can you go wrong with the great taste of lemonade in a cake? I served it this past Sunday at our family dinner and there wasn’t a crumb left over. Even my son who isn’t a big lemon fan loves it. It’s super simple to make and looks so beautiful.

Prepare cake mix according to directions on box, add the powdered lemonade mix and mix well. Divide cake batter evenly among two round 9-inch greased cake pans and bake according to direction on box.

With an electric mixer cream together sugar, butter, vanilla, lemonade mix, heavy whipping cream and food coloring (if using). Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for 2-3 minutes until frosting is fluffy. If mixture seems too thick add a little more cream.

Zest of one lemon can be added to the top of the finished frosted cake for extra flavor and color.

Fresh mint leaves make a pretty garnish.

Yellow cake mix can also be used in place of the vanilla.

Refrigerate Cake until 20 minutes before serving.

I am going to try this recipe as it looks so good. I was wondering, though, if you add the lemonade powder to the cake mix and do not add any more liquid than what is called for on the cake box, won’t it be too dry? I will wait to hear from you before trying this. Thanks so much for all your emails with the delicious recipes.
